Answers from Our Daytona Beach Divorce Lawyer

with high-quality and informative counsel. This includes giving them the

I am thinking of getting a divorce. Do I need a lawyer?
While you do not need to have an attorney to help you through the
divorce, it is recommended because divorce is complex. You want to have a Daytona
Beach lawyer guide you through your disputes, disagreements, and to make
sure that you walk away from the divorce with your fair share of assets
and property. We can protect you throughout the process and make the process
as stress free as possible.
How is property divided in a divorce?
In Florida,
property, assets, and marital debt are divided equitably. This does not mean that property division is split in half, but that
it is divided according to what is fair in the eyes of the law.
How will child custody be determined?
Child custody is determined by looking at the best interests of the child, including
arrangements that maintain and foster a healthy relationship with both
parents. Frequent contact between a child and his or her parent is encouraged
because it promotes stability for the child. But there are exceptions,
such as if one parent is not deemed fit for custody. Make sure you have
an attorney with you to fight for your custody rights.
